On the go breakfast ideas I can eat in my car post-workout?

I workout very early in the AM, but try to get in as much sleep as possible. Food takes a bit of time to comfortably settle before I do something fairly active, so I work out fasted and eat in my car between my workout and work. I've been doing fruit and protein bars, but am looking for quick more nutritious options. Thank you! No dietary restrictions btw.

Diminishing returns protein feeding per meals?

Under certain circumstances, due to job related and prescription medication requirements, my first two meals of the the day contains 120g of protein between 2.5 hours.

My calculated protein intake is 155g a day. (I actually eat 220 a day because this helps with my current budget and satiety). The 3rd and 4th “meal” is usually protein powder with contains 40 g per serving.

Well since I'm over my calculated 0.7g/bw by the 3rd meal, is timing still relevant for optimizing MPS? Or you can still optimize MPS after over feeding protein intake?

Note: I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and cannot eat 4 hrs from taking my medication

OMAD keto, how much wiggle room is there in macros?

So my dad, who is 68, 5 foot 10 and weighs in at 18 stone and change (over weight, average muscle), has decided he wants to lose weight. He holds almost every lbs of fat on his stomach.

I've been having some success with OMAD Keto so he has asked me to write out some meals for him. He's done fasting (upto 21 days) his whole life for religious reasons so that isnt a problem.

However I'm having a bit of trouble balancing out the macros (see attached image, all in grams) this meal comes to ratios of Carbs:7 Fats:64 Protein:29 (rounded up)

I was wondering, how much wiggle room there is in the keto diet? I have been losing fat with this sort of meal but im more active than he is and im concerned that fats are a whole 11% lower than they should be on the ideal 5/75/20

By no stretch of the imagination am I any kind of expert so any info is greatfully recieved.

The attatchment is an excel screen grab of the meal i referance above. It is cheese and mushroom omlette with leaves and avacado, a bowl of broccoli with cheese on, a salmon fillet with garlic butter, and a small number of pecan nuts on the side. Critique and advice is very greatfully recieved.

Thanks in advance all.

Does protein average out through the week?

So I don't really pay attention to timing of my meals as long as I hit my daily calorie and protein goals, I'm fine. I also know I can somewhat compensate for a lower than normal calorie day by just eating more the next day. I was wondering if this concept applied to protein (and I guess macros in general).

Say I need to hit 150g of protein a day and have the opportunity to reach 250g on a certain day, would I get away with eating 100g in the succeeding days (as long as the weekly average stays roughly the same)?

Asking this because my job involves me having 1-2 days a week where I get free unlimited food (and thus an extremely easy source of protein - can go way over my daily requirement of 150g) - and wanted to know if I could maximize these days and be a bit more relaxed on some of the remaining days of the week.

having a hard time

So I started tracking my calories and macros on my fitness pal.
I'm eating 2,800 calories a day.
285/g carbs
98/g fat (.4g/lbs of body weight)
195/g protein (.8g/lbs of body weight)

My question is, I'm finding it really hard to hit the carb total and always seem to run out of fat.
I have 63g of avocado everyday, 3 eggs, 1/4 c shredded cheese, 1 c of 2% milk and some smaller amounts of fats here and there.

Would I be able to reduce the carbs slightly and increase my fat total without it being detrimental to a well balanced diet?

Hard-gainer Nutrition Plan

Hello,
I'm 5'7" (170cm) and 130lbs (59kg), having hard time gaining weight.
I'm staying at 130lbs for weeks, although doing mass workout plan.
My aim is to gain weight, I don't care about lean muscle (yet), I don't seem to get any muscle/fat.

My future everyday nutrition plan will look like this:

Morning:
Meal 1 (9AM) - 400 calories, 20g of protein.
Meal 2 (11AM) - 400 calories, don't care what protein.

Lunch:
Meal 3 (15PM) - 700 calories, at least 30g of protein.

Meal 4 (19PM) - Mass gainer of 680 calories, 30g of protein.

Dinner:
Meal 5(21PM) - 500 calories, 30g of protein.

Total: 2700 calories, 110g protein (0.86g/bodyweight pound)


What do you think about this plan?
In addition, I don't seem to be able to put on some fruit/vegetables, since they contain very less calories...any tips?

Thanks!

Advice - Should I bulk and how much?

I'm 17M and I've been going to the gym regularly for the past few months (I started mid dec made 1 month in the gym and then had to stop till mid feb as I was ill.) So I've been serious about gym for 10 weeks now.
My gym schedule is:

Biceps, Triceps Day
--------------
Shoulders Day
--------------
Legs Day
--------------
Rest Day
--------------
Back Day
--------------
Chest Day
--------------
Legs Day
--------------
Rest Day

Repeat
Long story short, I remember myself weighting 209pounds(95kg) 2 years ago but now I'm 5"10(178cm) and 166pounds(75.5kg) And it was only until few days ago that I realized I might not want to cut anymore(as I was going for 70kg) because I started to look small and I also realized that I'm gonna miss on my greatest opportunity of gaining muscle as I'm still in the Beginner phase where people say you have higher gains(n my body is still growing). I want to be lean and muscular could you give me an advise on how much kg I should gain/lose and why.

Another bulk or cut question

Just looking for the opinions of random strangers on the internet.

I'm 34 yo, 5'-10"
Over 6 months I went from 163 lbs and ~17% bf to 178 and ~19.5%
Added 9 lbs of lean mass and 6 lbs of fat, according to the fit3d scanner at the gym. I look more like 15% but maybe it's just the muscle size masking the fat.

On the one hand, it would be awesome to lose a layer of fat and get more definition in time for summer.

On the other hand I've never been a super vain guy and tend to care more about skills and abilities. Gaining strength is super fun, and I am at 275 bench and still gaining at a pretty quick rate (up 30 lbs from less than 2 months ago).

If I do decide to cut, would you keep it slow or really try and dump it quick? I do a lot of hard bike riding and could probably do a pretty big deficit if I let my training stall for a bit.

What would YOU do? My wife is too nice and refuses to give her opinion other than that she does not think 200+ lbs muscular is a good look.

Bulking on a low fat diet

I understand the importance of dietary fat and that the minimum requirement is around .45 g of fat per lb of bodyweight. My question is though, while bulking, is it better to keep dietary fat intake to this minimum requirement since dietary fat is much more easily stored as fat than protein or carbohydrates are? Excess protein will very rarely be converted into fat. Excess carbohydrates will be converted into fat, but only after glycogen stores are refilled, right? So it seems to me that excess calories coming from protein or carbohydrates will do less damage (in terms of fat storage) than excess dietary fat.

Struggling to get the right nutrition and calorie surplus

I recently started going to the gym at the start of January. I dabbled a bit in boxing before this and was trying to get my diet on track back then too. My diet isn't in the worst of conditions, could possibly be worst. I get roughly the right percentages of macros every day and usually, with the help of protein shakes, I reach my protein goal throughout the days too. My problem has started recently where I feel as if I have hit a stand still. Up until now I have noticed little gains over time but am stuck now. I know one solution may be to eat more but I am simply struggling to reach a calorie surplus every day with the right amount of macro nutrients too. I can easily hit the right percentages of macro nutrients just by watching what I'm eating and taking a mental note of all the contents of what I eat. The calorie surplus is tough though. I don't feel as if I have the money to go overboard with so much more food. I've seen people eat multiple eggs for breakfast in the morning. I could use 2-3 every morning at the most. I try to get at least 5-6 meals a day to try help me reach my calorie surplus but it's hard when I have so little money and also feel like fitting all the calories in with my daily life is impossible.

A little info on me:
I am 16, quite skinny, around 65kg when I last weighed myself. I'm probably around 5ft10-11. I eat an omelette every morning, followed by a cereal bar a bit later on to provide myself with some extra carbs before the gym. Then after the gym I go have a protein shake. If I have spare money I buy one from the vending machine, containing 50g protein and 50g carbs, if not then I just have my own powder that contains 20g protein. Roughly an hour or two later, I then have my next meal. Usually just some chicken and rice. I then wait another 1-2 hours to get in another meal, this quite often ends up being a microwave meal. Another couple hours later I will then have dinner, usually something good like low fat mince and pasta or chicken curry. Dinner is usually one of my best meals throughout the day. Then I don't eat until before bed when I have some casein protein.

I would like to know any suggestions on how I could improve on my diet and even some tips on how I could get the right balance of macro nutrients while hitting around 3000 calories each day and on a low budget. Sounds impossible to me. Also, I've tried nuts every now and then. I hate them. Literally can't eat them without wanting to vomit. I wish I could because I've heard they are great.

How much should I worry about nutrition

Hi, I'm pretty new to working out, I'm kinda skinny. I'm 17, 5' 9" and 150 lbs. Since I've started working out for a few months I've noticed some difference, but I feel I'm kinda at a plateau. My main goal is to eventually put on around 20 lbs, not have crazy bodybuilder muscle mass, but have a pretty good amount for a athletic physique. I know I have to at least change my diet in providing more protein to build muscle but how much do I really need to worry about all of it? Is it something that I really need to form my entire lifestyle around. I'm pretty busy and I feel a big part of my life when I go with my family and friends to a meal at a restaurant, I only eat at home a few times a week. There is effort for me to make time to just go to the gym. Do I need to do all of this macro counting and meal prepping? Or can I just continue my lifestyle but slightly change my choices and add in a few healthy snacks, protein shakes and supplements? If it is something I really need to do, I would be willing to make some changes to get to my goals, but how much of an adjustment do I really need to make?

Lose fat and gain muscle? Please assist with replies!

Hi my name is Michael and im 180 pounds, 5''11 and trying to lose fat and end up with a nice lean body. I know some of the basics of what i need to do, like being in a caloric deficit, eating clean, working out, etc. But what i want to do is gain muscle but is it pointless to gain muscle since I'm not lean yet like should i focus on my caloric deficit to lose the fat first then focus on eating more to gain muscle?? Because at the moment im definitely comfortable with the caloric deficit i am at at the moment and i dont seem to be starving at all but when i workout i usually dont have enough energy because of the deficit. I dont want to eat more because im scared that i will contradict everything im doing. Can someone please tell me what i need to know about this because im pretty unfamiliar with nutritional knowledge.

TD;LR: Do i focus on losing my fat before gaining muscle since my caloric deficit doesnt give me enough energy to properly push myself in the gym? Or should i just eat above my deficit (eat clean balanced meals) and focus on working out?

Question about accuracy | Measuring / Weighing foods

Good evening,

I'm wondering if I'm thinking too much into this, but say I have a pan filled with 300g broccoli and 200g onion and used 2 tblsp of olive oil (normally it's way more greens and veggies in 1 pan but this is just a for instance).

I would then put all the veggies in containers after they're cooked and cooled. Should I just add up everything I put in as a grand total and divide that by the gram?

Broccoli: 102 calories
Onion: 84 calories
Olive Oil: 239 calories
totals: 425 calories in 500gs of veggies/oil

500/425 = 1.17 calories per gram

Am I going about this the right way? Same with cooking meat with olive oil, I guess I just want to make sure I'm being accurate with my scales/portions.

Measuring the success of a bulk

I've just come to the end of my first ever serious bulk. I measured myself in several ways before and after, both in the morning with an empty stomach. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has done similar and how my numbers look in comparison.

Duration of bulk: 23 weeks
Height: 185cm (6'1") unchanged
Weight: 70.4kg (155lb) up to 79.0kg (174lb)
Shoulders: 117cm (46") up to 120cm (47")
Chest: 99cm (39") up to 103cm (40.5")
Waist: 80cm (31.5") up to 84cm (33")
Hips: 94cm (37") up to 98cm (38.5")
Biceps: 30.5cm (12") up to 32cm (12.5")

All of my lifts have improved (I'm doing Fierce 5 Novice) but I'm going on a mini cut now because I'm struggling to fit into a lot of my clothes due to my increased waist measurement.

Bulking plateau

Hey everyone,

I'm new to weightlifting and I've been bulking for about 6 weeks now, I initially started on 2,700 calories and was gaining around 200 grams a week. When that slowed up I increased again a to around 2,850 which I've found that over the past week I've stayed at the EXACT same weight 70.5kg, 3 days ago I increased again to 3,000 calories still with no weight change in the past 3 days. Is this normal, I get that building muscle will in turn mean that ones BMR will be higher but does it really increase this much ? Or could it be that I have found my maintenance calories?

When I first started out bulking my TDEE according to TDEE.com was 2,900 but i found that eating around 2,700 was the sweet spot to lean bulk. What are your suggestions should i increase more or wait it out for another week to see if there is any change?

Thaw chicken in the oven

Hi

So, my question is regarding cooking thawed chicken, or rather how to thaw it besides let it thaw in the fridge for sevral hours. Usually, I just put frozen chicken straight out of the fridge into the oven and cook it and that works of course. Today was my first time defrosting in the microwave, it was fast, but I also noticed that it got somewhat cooked and it didn't thaw evenly, maybe you're supposed to rotate them or something.

I know there are other methods to defrost chicken, like putting it in a bag in hot water but I heard it's not the most senatary thing to do. Anyway, can't you simply defrost in the oven? Depending on the temperature you use, put the chicken inside and take it out a couple of min after and weigh and season the chicken and put it back in? The chicken isn't cooked yet, so when you weigh it, it should still be considered raw weight, right? It shouldn't lose too much water if you're attentive, I think.

Navy Beans and why i love them.

This has been the food that saved me from, long war with finding the most stable food that also filled specific criteria such as,

• Easy to cook
• Healthy of course
• Cheap ( Let’s be honest as soon as the word healthy comes in the brand name the price jumps)
• Can be stored for few days normally 3-4 days for me after i have cooked them.
• Availability, I do not want have to go special store to find it or market.
• I can make them in different ways, while still have it as the core meal, ( soup, stew, and some odd mornings with eggs.)
• I can mix with other things to get even more out of it without losing anything.

And this and few other beans fit those, the first was Monk beans which I loved, but they didn’t last long in the fridge and could be a bit boring over time, but oddly haven’t had that problem with Navy Beans. I will do another report on millet another great stable food. Its my replacement for rice at this point.



Navy Beans, cooked
1.00 cup
(182.00 grams)
Calories: 255
GI: low

Nutrient DRI/DV

fiber: 68%

folate: 64%

copper: 42%

manganese: 42%

phosphorus: 37%

vitamin B13: 6%

protein: 30%

iron: 24%

magnesium: 23%

Health Benefits
Navy beans are an excellent source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, as are most other beans. In addition to lowering cholesterol, navy beans' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as brown rice, navy beans provide virtually fat-free high quality protein. But this is far from all navy beans have to offer. Navy beans are a very good source of folate and manganese and a good source of protein and vitamin B1 as well as the minerals phosphorus, copper, magnesium and iron.

It has lots of other health benefits that are worth reading ill add the link. Also 5 minutes on YouTube and you will find different ways to cook them and mix.

What would be the best way to eat meat ? Sperately or with crabs and vegs added ?

I am thinking of the best way I can eat meat, and combine foods so it digests faster, with best amount of absorbation.

So during diet,

Is it best to eat meat separately ? Or mixed with carbs, vegs and fats together ?

I am thinking of eating meat separately; and carbs and vegs separately during the day.

Like high protein meals only without no carb, no vegs in the morning.
Then high carb meals during the midday without no protein, then high protein meals at evening again. Then high fat, low carb and low protein and veg meals at night.

_____

I was thinking that maybe the stomach uses different type of enzymes for a particular type of food, so mixing different types of food at the same time can lower the nutritional value of the food, and absorbation rate.

What do you think ?

Bulking - Need Something to Snack on

Started my bulking phase but my free time to cook at home is pretty limited. Is there anything nutritional I can snack on outside or at work which will help carry me into a healthy surplus of calories? Was thinking of buying a range of foods and experimenting. e.g Munching on a bag of almonds, or baking a large quantity of oatmeal cookies, or mixing instant oats into my protein shake.

New to diet planning

I’ve been working out for awhile but never really tracked my diet. I started using MyFitnessPal today to track my food intake.

I’m 42 years old, workout with weights 3-4 days a week (heavy compounds) and no cardio.

I put my age, height, weight, activity (I put moderate 3-5 days a week) and my estimated body fat of 23%. It said my TDEE is 3450 calories a day. That seems crazy high.

I put 2800 calories into my fitness pal this morning. I used the guidelines of .7g and .4g of protein and fat per pound of body weight as a minimum. (I chose .8 and .5)

So for a 2800 cal a day diet I got
226g carbs
123g fat
195g protein

Does this sound reasonable? Should I just try to hit these numbers for a couple weeks and see what the scale says?

For how long can I take creatine?

I'm a beginner who is really skinny and has been working out for almost an year. I did not see any significant gains in the initial phase but then I finally realized that its mostly about the diet. I finally developed an appetite and eating as much as I can. In addition to that I am taking a weight gainer (Serious Mass by ON) with creatine (Micronized Creatine by ON), also whey protein (Syntha 6 by BSN). But since I want to build muscles from whole food, I keep the supplement intake to a minimal amount. I take a scoop of protein in the morning with breakfast. And I take half a scoop of my gainer (recommended size is 2 scoop) with 2-3 grams of creatine. And I also take 1-1.5 grams of creatine in pre-workout because it improves my workout. I have finally started to see some significant gains. It maybe because of the food, or creatine or maybe everything. My main question is how long can I keep taking the creatine like this if I'm taking it only 5 days a week about 3-4 grams in total. I did not opt for any loading phase. I started with 3 grams only and I have been taking it for almost a month.

Nutrition for recovery week after 4 months strict cutting

Hey all,

I’ve been cutting since January 1st and have been really strict and fairly successful losing 1-2 pounds per week. Lifting heavy, making strength gains throughout.

For the last two weeks I've been more fatigued, muscles have been sore longer than usual, and just less energy during workouts. I think I want to take a week off from weight training mainly to give my body recovery.

Diet wise, I haven't really taken any cheat days (at all) and am fine from that perspective. For a rest week would it be most beneficial to continue at a calorie deficit (I adjust intake daily based on exercise level) or to eat at maintenance? Also, should I adjust macros? I've been averaging 50% fat, 30% protein and 20% carbs.

Any advice appreciated!

Need advice on figuring out when to eat

I've lost weight before. It's nothing new I suppose.

But for the past couple of years I've been having stomach problems. I've gotten it checked out but still haven't found what is going on yet. I'm going to keep trying.

What basically happens is that I get gassy throughout the whole day especially after eating anything almost. I often have to use the bathroom about 3 times a day.

With that said, I have stopped eating breakfast for the past few weeks to avoid being gassy and having to use the bathroom while at work.

But I don't know how to go about my diet now. My shift at work ends around 5 pm. By the time I go to bed, I can only fit like 2 meals in my stomach.

This sucks but I haven't really found another way around my stomach problems at work.

What do you guys and gals recommend? Is there a way I can be on a healthy diet and lose weight this way? I'm not trying to eat less on purpose or anything. I just want to avoid being gassy (and passing gas by accident, it happens to me. I can't control it) and using the toilet at work.

By the way, before writing this post, I ate a large bowl of oatmeal with blueberries. And about 15 minutes ago I ate a large meal. However, even though I don't feel like eating any more, I still feel very hungry.

Thanks! I'll continue looking around for more information. I honestly don't think I can safely lose weight this way at all. But thought I'd try asking.

edit: I am not 49 years old. I do not know why that's showing up under my profile information. I am 30 years old in case anyone wanted to know.

Hey all,

I'm new to this eating loads of stuff everyday thing and could really do with some help.

I weigh around the middle of the 10st mark but want to reach 12st and after some research, I reckon 3500 a day would be best for reaching that.

The only issue is... what do I eat?

Right now I'm only just reaching the recommended 2500 a day - also I'm on a student budget so wooh for that.

I guess the main thing I'm asking for here is a bunch of high calorie foods/meals.

Do I need to add any "healthy" foods or increase/decrease frequency

I have been trying to incorporate healthier foods into my diet and was wondering if this mix of foods and eating schedule look good or need any additions/subtractions?

Every day I try to eat 1 carrot, about 1/2 a cucumber, a handful of spinach, blueberries, an orange, a kiwi, and about a teaspoon of fresh grated turmeric

3-4 times a week I eat a handful of broccoli, kale, an apple

Once a week I eat 1 avocado(in the form of guac), and some sauteed asparagus

Now obviously that is not all that I am eating, but in terms of healthier foods there is so much out there, and even with what I mentioned it is difficult to eat them all each day. I am just trying to come up with some sort of mix of good foods without trying to go crazy b/c it is impossible to regularly eat every "superfood"

Does what I mentioned look good in terms of type and frequency of foods?

Broken Finger and Bulk - Now What?

Hey y’all,

Unfortunately I broke my pinky finger yesterday and it’s in a splint for 2-4 weeks :(. Did my research and will still be going to the gym and just murdering legs and abs and whatever I can do.

My question is, I’m still bulking. Since I won’t be lifting weights for the rest of my body until I’m recovered is it okay to continue bulk as normal, or will I just gain too much weight? I really want to reach my goal and this broken finger is such a damper, but I refuse to let it stop me!

Any tips on what exercises to do in this time and if I’m good to keep bulking would be great.

How to make my mother lose fat ?

Hello, please i need help. My mother is really fat, by BMI i think she is somewhere between overweight and obese. She is trying to lose fat, and she wants me to help her, because i train, know something about nutrition etc. Yes, I did get from 15% BF to 10% BF by counting macros, calories , but you know, 15% BF with muscles is something different than obese person that never workout. I dont know what to do, she weighted herself and she has 120 kg and she is 185 cm long.

I really dont know what diet or what to do to help her lose fat. Classic calorie counting ? (but how to calculate her TDEE ? You know 120 kgs, but its like a ton of fat so ...) or just do intuitive eating where she would be eating just clean foods (carbs = potatoes,rice,veggies,fruits , protein = meat,eggs,yoghurt, fats = eggs, nuts, seeds, olive oil) and increase her calorie expenditure ?

And last question - does she needs to workout ? She certainly cant do squats,deadlifts, so i was wondering if only cardio (some hours of walking) would be enough ?

Diet question and abs

This is me m.imgur.com/a/9oicaBu

I’m currently 6 feet, 147 pounds. I’m skinny, and I know it. Been slowly gaining a little weight with some hiccups. After summer I plan to bulk for a long while. However, what I really want for the summer is a six pack. I know I shouldn't be focusing on it, but it is my goal currently. I think I’m somewhere between 10-12 percent body fat. I’m strength training 4 times a week and when I do abs I use weighted exercises. I want my abs to show. I figured I’m skinny enough, but my ab muscles are too small? My question is how should I diet if this is my goal? Should I eat at a surplus of 400/500, should I Maintain, or maybe something else. As for macros, I know I should eat around 150/170 grams of protein, but I’m not sure about the others. Any help related to my question would be appreciated. Cheers!

New guy here, I have a question about going 150 cal over my recommended intake

Hi there, I'm still very new to this so please excuse my ignorance.

So a question I have is, I'm trying to plan out meal to hit my recommended Protein, Carb and Calorie intake.
But the problem I have is. When I hit the recommended Protein and Carb intake, I'm always about 150-200 cal over my recommended intake.

Would that matter too much? since its gonna be every day that I'm going over or 150cal is not that big of a deal and I should go with the plan that I made?

Thank you very much!

Healthy Protein Snacks on a Budget

So iv been big on Quest bars for a while but when I do the math im just spending way too much on quest bars considering id eat 3-4 per day and they are about $25 for a box of 12. So lately iv been searching some quest bar alternatives at a better price point. I found the Pure Protein bars have similar macros and you can get them for about $16 a box. The Quest Ranch chips are great and they are reasonably priced. Also a big fan of the Gone Rouge protein chicken chips. - Just wondering if any of you guys have some similar types of snacks that maybe I havent found yet.

Light eating through the day, but eating until I can't after a workout

Since I started getting serious in the gym, I was eating minimally and just taking protein shakes. It cleaned my physique up and I built some muscle. Now, I'm trying to fill out my t shirts. I have a decent shred currently, but my trainer wants me to eat as much carbs and calories as I can after a workout.

My friend tells me to skip breakfast and eat everything I can after a workout to get to his level of shred.

Recently, I've been eating 4 whole grain pitas and hummus after a workout, with a bulk shake. I notice somewhat of a difference with the carb loading, but is it okay to force myself to eat until I am full all throughout the day? My lifting is strenuous, every day, and I run the track about 2-3 times a week.

Check my diet?

So I think I'm doing this right but wanted to get verification:
Want to get more muscle without fat increase.
5'10
140 lbs
Not sure of body fat but I have a slightly visible four pack and ab outline not flexed, when flexing, you can see faint outline of six pack.
Moderately active - used a TEE calculator and got 2500 cal for maintainence but don't want to get overweight. E.g. hot yoga 2x/week - 60 min, bouldering 2-3x/week - 60-90min. Run for 20 min at light jogging sometimes but can cut this out. I think my metabolism might be slow though because I've been weight maintaining on probably like 1700 cal for the past few months.

Was going to start by trying to hit 2500 cal and lifting and seeing if I have weight gain and muscle gains. If not, I was going to increase it to 2700 or upwards.

140gm protein
15-25% fat
40-60% carbs
All pro workout routine.

I'm pretty good about sticking to foods and don't mind bland diet. Is that a reasonable plan?

Should I lower my calories ?

Hello folks, I have some non standard question. So I have a leg injury which doesn't allow me to train football/soccer but biking doesn't seem to hurt me so much. (I don't train my legs in the gym/weights because I get decent legs from all the football/sccer training.
My question is since I workout only upper body should I lower my calories. I'm on a lean bulk(or trying lean lol) with 250-300 surplus because as all studies and experts say out there that I should be gaining 2 pounds of muscle per month (beginners).
How much will my change be if my legs get exercise only by biking (and walking which won't build muscle at all) because I want to gain as less fat as possible.
Should i cut down to 100-150 since the legs are big muscles although even with biking my legs get a bit sore and pumped after or maybe something else ?
Thanks in advance!!!
P.S i do Push/Pull routine which i hit my muscles every 4-5 days.

Should I reduce calories for my current cut?

Second week on cut but feel it’s going a bit slow and unsure if I should reduce calories and wanting some opinion. I’m lifting 5x per week using the renaissance periodization male physique templates. I’m also doing 600 calories on the elliptical (using the machine calories burned amount) + 1 LISS cardio session at 45-60 min.

Macros right now are somewhere along the lines of 190 protein,225 carb,60 fat. 2200 calories. The macros are just a guideline and I don’t hit those numbers perfectly. Usually my fats sometimes go down to 45-50 and I eat more carbs. My goal is to keep performance up as best as I can because my training volume is high.

Here is my weight loss sheet from the past 9 days: before I started the diet I had a week where I just ate whatever I wanted. That’s why my first day weigh in was quite high.

Day 1: 186
Day 2: 184.4
Day 3: 182.4
Day 4: 180.4
Day 5: 180.4
Day 6: 179.6
Day 7: 181.0
Day 8: 179.2
Day 9: 177.6

Meal Plan struggles

Hi all,

I am posting today because I am struggling to come up with a simple meal plan which allows me to get what I need.

I have 2 main challenges that dont allow me to reach my goals

1. Job
2. I am stupid/clueless when it comes to meals and eating. If its not packaged I dont understand what I am eating. I say this very seriously and disappointed, I am no good at understanding nutrition no matter how hard I try.

The struggle with my job are it's a call center. 8am - 5pm. With 2 breaks which means my calorie intake naturally is not as high as someone who is consistently active. I am getting the training in but am not leaning down as I would like to.

The BB macro calculator suggest my macronutrient are as follow for fat loss.

Carbs:160
Protien: 160
Fats:36G
Caloric intake:1700

I want to have a simply meal plan 3x per day breakfast lunch dinner and maybe some snacks.

I dont aim to be some jacked silverback, just look nice while on the beach etc.

My current stats are

Height:168cm
Age 32
Weight 80kg
Bf: 20%

Training program is layne norton phat.

Can someone please help me come up with a simply meal plan which allow me to reach my goals and meets the macro nutrient I formation listed.

At this point I am begging because I though I often get told I look quick muscles and "stocky" I can never get rid of the fat and am sick of this skinny fat look.

Thanks in advance yall.

Regards

A desperate soul.
